Resident welfare associations (RWAs), NGOs and members of the public staged a protest against garbage mafia on Sunday demanding the government to streamline solid waste management (SWM) in the city and bring transparency and accountability in the sector.
Voicing their support to the state government&apos;s measures, they demanded that along with the direct payment method and biometric attendance for pourakarmikas, BBMP should fast implement the GPS-based monitoring of the garbage trucks.
The protest comes in the wake of the state government invoking Essential Services Maintenance Act to make garbage contractors fall in line after they stopped waste collection.
Garbage contractors have opposed the government&apos;s decision to make direct payments to pourakarmikas, which will essentially take away their hold on civic workers.
The government has planned biometric attendance system to remove bogus pourakarmikas from the pay list.

A day after the state government invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) against garbage contractors and pourakarmikas, sanitation workers were back to work on Sunday. Most of them were seen lifting garbage across the city.
For the third time in three months, the contractors went on a flash protest on Saturday against the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike&apos;s (BBMP) decision to implement the direct payment system for pourakarmikas. The strike brought waste clearance to a halt.
Although pourakarmikas have withdrawn the protest, garbage collection in some parts of the city remained affected on Sunday. The festive season added to the problem.
&quot;We can understand the problem of the poor pourakarmikas. The government and the BBMP should act fast and oblige them with what they are asking for. The tussle between the authorities and pourakarmikas is creating garbage problems. For the last two days, the BBMP has failed to address the issue,&quot; Muthu Raj, of Vyalikaval, said.

The residents of Mittaganahalli, Kannur, Kogilu Layout, Bella Halli, Srinivasapura, Sathanuru, Bandehosuru and Chikka gubbi took part in the protest. They complained of increasing cases of dengue, chikungunya, malaria and skin diseases due to dumping of garbage.
&quot;We have been protesting against this dumping since a long time. We have also requested the government to solve this problem. In June, the BBMP officials had said that the issue will be solved within three months, but have not done anything so far. Hence we have resumed our protest,&quot; a resident said.

For the third time in three months, garbage contractors prevented pourakarmikas from lifting garbage in the city.
The contractors staged a protest against Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Saturday for implementing the direct payment system for pourakarmikas. Yet, the pourakarmikas were determined to continue their work and not heed to contractors.
The state Cabinet had approved abolition of the contract system in August and implement the direct payment system where salaries will be directly credited to pourakarmikas bank accounts.
At present, contractors hire pourakarmikas and pay them. Implementation of the direct payment system will make 108 contractors involved in garbage contract business for decades, redundant.

In the wake of garbage contractors threatening to disrupt waste collection in Bengaluru, the state government on Saturday invoked ESMA, prohibiting pourakarmikas and other staff from going on strike for the next one year.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah directed the Urban Development Department to invoke Section 3 of the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA), which empowers the state government to crack down on protests and strikes that disrupt public services.
All pourakarmikas, auto tippers, compact loaders and drivers employed directly by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) or through contractors cannot strike work for the next one year. The ESMA provision covers both pourakarmikas under contract as well as those on the civic body&apos;s rolls, BBMP Commissioner N Manjunath Prasad clarified.
The move comes months ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections and at a time when the state government and the BBMP are facing the heat from the public over the recent rain-related chaos.
